The TASK parties are a series of improvisational events in cities throughout the world organized by New York-based artist Oliver Herring.

In a typical TASK party, a limited number of invited participants each perform tasks as they interpret, as written on slips of paper drawn at random. Once finished, they write a new task for others, and draw a new one for themselves. The events are held in public spaces such as parks and museum grounds, in front of large crowds of spectators.
